Das Langzeitexperiment
CONcept
The theme of Das Langzeitexperiment revolves around the concept of translation. Ye Lun is interested in exploring the potential of communication and translation as they pertain to human body language and theatrical methods.
How well can we comprehend body and spoken language with or without translation?
Will certain information be lost or altered during the translation process?
How does this dynamic play out in a multicultural context that combines movement, acting, and speech?
To what extent can we define meaning or encounter misunderstandings?
Das Langzeitexperiment is playful, insightful, and interactive; incorporating humor, wisdom, and miscommunication as essential elements.
